During the first 20 years Hanford nuclear production dumped 450 billion gallons of radioactive liquids into the soil . There is 177 tanks with 56 million gallons of lethal nuclear sludge currently at Hanford . They have spent $30 billion or more on plans to seal that in glass .
So dumping 450 Billion Gallons of lethal by the litre nuclear sludge left over from weapons production into the soil is equal to over a million of those tanks in facts it is equal to 1,422,322 Of those tanks dumped into the soil . 450,000,000,000 Gallons is also equal to a wall of 1 ton bags of deadly radioactive sludge with a 1000 litres per 1 ton bag are 6 feet wide and 518 ft high ( or a 52 Story Building High ) around the entire planet earth . Hanford also has 41 miles of unlined trenches it dumped legacy nuclear waste into a decade later .
This is just one one site and one instance of the dumping of nuclear material into the environment so when you add up all the country s dumping it is no surprise the species and us are on the threshold of extinction .
